HOUSTON'S TRAFFIC GUARDIANS.

DWI/DUI & Criminal Defense

Harris County makes over 10,000 DWI arrests annually—70% of fatal Houston accidents involve drunk driving. But an arrest isn't a conviction. We've gotten cases dismissed by exposing faulty breathalyzers, missing records, and video evidence that contradicted police claims. When you're facing 5 to 99 years, you need attorneys who know how to fight back.

Car Accidents

In the first half of 2025, Houston saw 142 traffic deaths and 658 serious injury crashes. Our roads are among the deadliest in America. We've recovered multi-million dollar settlements, including a case where injuries led to staph infections and amputation. From I-45 pile-ups to catastrophic brain injuries, we fight for every dime you deserve.

Get Help Now →

18-Wheeler & Big Rig Crashes

Texas recorded over 30,000 truck crashes in 2025—376 fatal. Harris County leads the state with 6,300+ annually. I-45, I-10, and Beltway 8 are killing grounds where negligent carriers destroy families every week. Our firm has recovered millions for trucking-related wrongful death. We hold billion-dollar trucking companies accountable.

Get Help Now →

Offshore & Maritime (Jones Act)

The Port of Houston is America's busiest port—and one of the most dangerous workplaces in Texas. The Jones Act provides special protections most attorneys don't understand. We reached a significant settlement for a client injured lifting cargo when our investigation proved he should have been assisted. Maritime workers need maritime lawyers.

Get Help Now →

Construction & Workplace Injuries

Texas led the nation in workplace deaths in 2024, and 2025 brought no relief. Oil and gas, transportation, and industrial facilities remain killing grounds where profits come before safety. We secured a multi-million dollar settlement for a client with brain injury from a logging accident. We make negligent companies pay.

Get Help Now →

Refinery & Plant Accidents

2025 brought the Marathon refinery fire, Olin chlorine leak, Channelview acid spill, and Pemex Deer Park disaster that killed 2 workers. Our firm has BP Texas City explosion litigation experience—we know how to take on billion-dollar corporations. If you've been injured in a plant accident, you need attorneys who've fought these fights.

Get Help Now →

Toxic Torts

Houston-Galveston is ground zero for chemical exposure cases. In 2025: chlorine leaks, acid spills, hydrogen sulfide releases, and refinery fires exposed workers to toxic substances. These cases require federal court experience. Ralph Manginello is admitted to U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas. We hold corporations accountable.

Get Help Now →

Wrongful Death

In the first half of 2025, Houston lost 142 people to traffic violence—53 pedestrians, 2 bicyclists. Behind every statistic is a family destroyed. We've recovered multi-million dollar settlements for wrongful death, workplace fatalities, and catastrophic accidents. Your loved one's life had value. We fight to prove what your family lost.

Insurance Claims

Attorney Lupe Peña spent years at a national insurance defense firm. He sat in rooms where adjusters decided how to deny, delay, and devalue claims. He learned how insurers pressure victims into lowball offers. Now he uses that insider knowledge to fight FOR you. We know their playbook because we helped write it.

Fatal Truck Accidents in Balch Springs: What Families Need to Know You’re reading this because someone you love didn’t come home from one of Balch Springs’ busiest roads.

在德克萨斯州帕萨迪纳市,致命的18轮大货车和牵引拖车车祸:家属需要知道的事 你之所以阅读这篇文章,是因为你深爱的人没有从帕萨迪纳大多数人每天都会驾驶却从未多想的道路上回家。也许是在10号州际公路靠近帕萨迪纳高速公路(SH-225)的路段,那里的早高峰在休斯顿航道和山姆·休斯顿收费公路之间堵得水泄不通。也许是在费尔蒙特大道,那里的运输卡车和油罐车在炼油厂和配送中心之间穿梭。也许是在伯克路,那里的校车和商用车辆与上班的家庭和上学的孩子共享道路。 无论发生在哪里,这场车祸都不仅仅是另一则新闻头条。它是你的生活,在一瞬间被一辆重达8万磅的牵引拖车改变了——这辆车本应在严格的联邦安全规则下运行,但却没有。 在Attorney 911,我们已经24年多来一直为哈里斯县及整个德克萨斯州在致命18轮大货车车祸中失去亲人的家庭争取权益。我们了解这些路段。我们了解这些运输公司。我们了解本应防止此类事故发生的德克萨斯州法律和联邦法规。我们也知道卡车公司及其保险理赔员会如何试图淡化发生在你家庭中的悲剧。 这不仅仅是另一篇关于“卡车事故”的文章。这是一份接下来该怎么办的生存指南——因为时间已经开始倒数,证据正在消失,而运输公司的法律团队已经开始对你展开行动。 帕萨迪纳及休斯顿航道走廊致命卡车车祸的现实 帕萨迪纳位于全国最繁忙的货运网络之一的中心。10号州际公路、帕萨迪纳高速公路(SH-225)和山姆·休斯顿收费公路承载着长途半挂车、油罐车、自卸卡车和末端配送车辆的混合交通流量——所有这些车辆都应在**联邦机动车运输安全法规(FMCSR)**的规范下安全运行。 但数据讲述的故事却截然不同。 帕萨迪纳及哈里斯县的数据(TxDOT CRIS,2024年) 哈里斯县在2024年记录了115,173起车祸——德克萨斯州五分之一的车祸发生在这里。 其中498起车祸是致命的,造成546人死亡。 商用车辆在哈里斯县卷入了12,432起车祸——其中1,087起造成了伤亡。 穿过帕萨迪纳和休斯顿的10号州际公路是德克萨斯州最致命的货运走廊之一,致命车祸集中在航道和工业区。 SH-225(帕萨迪纳高速公路)穿过鹿园、拉波特和帕萨迪纳的炼油厂区,运载着油罐车、危险品和重型设备——并有侧翻、追尾和钻入事故的记录。 如果你的亲人在帕萨迪纳的牵引拖车车祸中丧生,你并不孤单。这种事在哈里斯县每周都在发生。而负有责任的运输公司指望家属不知道自己的权利——或者不知道如何反击。 德克萨斯州的非正常死亡和生存权法律:你的家庭有权获得的赔偿 德克萨斯州法律在致命卡车车祸后,赋予幸存家庭两种独立的法律诉求: 非正常死亡索赔(德克萨斯州民事诉讼与补救法典 § 71.001–71.004) 谁可以提起诉讼? 死者的配偶、子女和父母。 涵盖哪些内容? 经济损失(死者本应提供的经济支持) 精神痛苦(幸存者的情感折磨) 丧失陪伴和社会关系(你失去的亲情) 丧失继承权(死者本应积蓄或留下的财产) 谁来支付? 卡车公司、司机、经纪人、托运人或其他过失方。 生存权诉讼(德克萨斯州民事诉讼与补救法典 § 71.021) 是什么? 为你的亲人在车祸至死亡期间所承受的痛苦和折磨提起的索赔。 涵盖哪些内容? 死亡前的身体疼痛 精神痛苦(恐惧、创伤、折磨) 死亡前产生的医疗费用 丧葬费用(如未被其他方式覆盖) 谁提起诉讼? 死者的遗产,通过遗嘱执行人或管理人。 你不能错过的两年诉讼时效(德克萨斯州民事诉讼与补救法典 § 16.003) 你有从致命伤害发生之日起整整两年时间提起非正常死亡诉讼。 不是从葬礼开始。不是从验尸报告出来开始。也不是从你觉得“准备好”了开始。 如果错过这一期限,案件将永远被禁止——没有例外,没有延期。 这在帕萨迪纳为何重要: 哈里斯县地区法院是德克萨斯州商用车辆诉讼最繁忙的法院之一。 德克萨斯南区联邦法院(休斯顿分庭)处理联邦卡车运输案件,而拉尔夫·曼吉内洛27年以上的联邦法院经验在此至关重要。 卡车公司比大多数家庭更了解这一期限——他们指望悲痛让时间流逝。 卡车公司本应遵守的联邦法规(以及他们如何违反) 在帕萨迪纳运行的每一辆商用卡车都受联邦机动车运输安全法规(49 C.F.R. Parts 390–399)的约束。这些规则的存在是为了防止像夺走你亲人生命的车祸发生。 以下是运输公司本应做到的——以及他们可能如何违反法律的情况: 1. 工作时间(HOS)规则(49 C.F.R. Part 395) 运输货物的司机(如大多数半挂车)在连续休息10小时后,最多只能驾驶11小时。 在休息10小时后,最多只能工作14小时。 8天内最多工作70小时(在连续休息34小时后重置)。 驾驶8小时后必须休息30分钟。 运输公司如何规避这一系统: 伪造电子行车记录仪(ELD)记录(我们见过司机在驾驶时仍记录为“下班”)。 调度员向司机施压,要求他们在不现实的交货时间内完成任务。 利用“分段睡眠”漏洞,让司机钻空子。 我们如何证明: ELD数据下载(我们传唤原始电子记录)。 加油收据、通行费记录和GPS数据(用于与ELD日志交叉核对)。 调度通信记录(短信、电子邮件和派单记录,显示违反HOS的压力)。 卢佩·佩尼亚的内部视角:“作为辩护律师,我审查过数百份ELD日志。事实是:运输公司知道如何操纵它们。他们会在司机仍在行驶时记录为‘下班’,或在事故后要求司机‘修改’日志。我们每次都能发现——因为我们知道该看哪里。” 2. 司机资格审查(49 C.F.R. Part 391) 在雇佣司机之前,运输公司必须: 验证司机的商用驾驶执照(CDL)。 检查司机的就业历史(包括先前的车祸和违规记录)。 审查司机的医疗认证(DOT体检)。 进行药物和酒精背景调查(通过FMCSA药物和酒精信息系统)。 进行路试,确保司机能够安全操作车辆。 运输公司如何偷工减料: 雇佣持有被吊销或过期CDL的司机。 忽略司机记录中的先前车祸或违规行为。 未检查FMCSA信息系统中未通过的药物测试。 匆忙培训司机,未进行适当的安全指导。 我们如何证明: 传唤司机资格档案(DQF)(我们调取运输公司的雇佣记录)。 FMCSA预雇佣筛查计划(PSP)报告(显示先前的车祸和检查记录)。 前雇主背景调查(我们采访前雇主,揭露危险信号)。 案例示例:“客户在伐木公司被掉落的圆木砸中,导致脑损伤并失明,我们为其争取到数百万美元的和解。”(每个案件都独一无二。过往结果不保证未来的成果。) 3. 车辆维护与检查(49…
